“Kia ora” is a Māori-language greeting which has entered New Zealand English. It translates literally as "have life" or "be healthy”. It is used as an informal greeting or farewell equivalent to "hi", "hello" or "goodbye" and can be used as an expression of thanks similar to "cheers". As a greeting it is comparable to the term "g'day" (used in Australian and New Zealand English).
I know how he feels. The sound of my voice is overshadowed by the sound of panties hitting the floor all the time. Starbucks , the gas station, church, doesn't matter. Its embarrassing.
I can understand now how Edward fell in love with Stede before he even knew him. All he had to say was "you've heard of me" and the accent made Ed smitten on the spot. All is completely clear to me now, I have learned.

Having Mr Darby as the voice of first contact is a terrible idea. The pure masculinity that courses through his voice will no doubt threaten them into a defensive state. The unfiltered sexuality will make them think we’re some sort of orgy planet. The unbridled humanity will cause them to fall in love with us. We can’t know what a empathetic, scared, horned up alien race will do to use fragile earthlings!
I completely agree. Me personally I have never attended a sex orgy..I live in Hollywood. Jimmy Kimmel posed ot to passers by and I was astounded that so many people had attended orgies. I guess I was missing out on something. They spoke glowing about it. Earth is an orgy planet.
A fan of Darby's, are we? That sounded exactly like something Rhys Darby would say. (are you secretly Rhys Darby?) Either way....Well done! That was funny and sarcastic at the same time. My kind of humor. 🙃
And when Ed says, "That's the guy I'm after, I want him to come" - my brain is picturing an activity that likely won't be taking place in a restaurant.
That's so gross and weird he's like our uncle over here in New Zealand 😂 No one is allowed to have any feelings for Rhys and if you do protect the kiwi ears from it.
It’s a combination of the alluring rapid-fire cadence, with the heart-melting high-pitched squeakiness of the accent that makes it impossible to resist. Terribly charming. It’s an unfair advantage in the art of seduction. Perhaps New Zealanders should be required to use voice altering technology when traveling abroad.
Classic, I know the feeling... I went for an interview and they were more fascinated by my Scottish accent than anything else, the interviewer even brought in people to listen to me... I got the job purely because of my accent...
Understandably. I dated a complete nutcase for 3 weeks & 6 days too long (yup, total of 4 weeks) just because of her Scottish accent. Same town Rantin' Rob came from. Pwoah!
I find it so funny that the kiwi accent was voted the most sexy because as a kiwi myself, I really can’t imagine anyone speaking sexily with a strong kiwi accent. I feel like our accent is just so humorous. It’s good for comedy, not whispering sweet nothings into your ear.
Honestly, I’m very surprised as well. I like the kiwi accent, but same thing, ive never considered it sexy. To me, that’s like naming a southern USA accent sexiest accent alive, “Well I dun tol’ ‘em, y’all ain’t nothin’ bu ah fuk stieek.”
@@mr.doctorcaptain1124I read somewhere a while back that apparently Brits consider southern accents the ‘sexiest American accent.’ I can kind of see it with the softer vowel sounds that feel closer to British accents than say, New York accents or PNW accents.
I've rigged a pressure switch behind my headboard that triggers a recording of Rhys saying 'pineapple fritters' whenever the bed moves. Let's just say, my wife and I have never been happier.
Thank you Mr. Darby for turning me on... To pineapple fritters! I'd never heard of them til now and I promptly went and made some! They are magnificent!
He;s one of those rare people, where it doesn't much matter what he says-it's funny. Christopher Walken is another. "I'll have the fish, please" - that, alone, made me pause the video, laugh, wipe a tear, and then type this. Loved- *loved* - him on Flight of the Conchords. Amazing character. But, "sixy?" Not so much.
Lol, I love this because I was taught how to tell a AU vs. NZ accent is to ask, "Does it sound sexy?" And if it does, it's Australian. And if it doesn't, it's New Zealand.
Hey Mr.Darby,i found thru reddit that you have a youtube channel,that's great! Im a long time fan,since Flight of the Concords,happy to see you develop your own content around youtube,keep doing it ,please. This would be a great pressureless training grounds for skits and material for your career around tv and films.
Good lord, I see in the comments people lamenting that you don't have a large enough following. I get the impression it's grown a bit since recent events.
This is really funny if you’re a person from Aotearoa- To the rest of the world this is a new sexy accent, but for us this is literally just a Wednesday.
I was not expecting you here. Your passion for Warcraft 3 is amazing. Thanks for contributing to the Warcraft community. But I have to say This guy's voice is normal.
@@onemansvoice9132 If only they'd spend some of their dough on coming up with good punchlines or indeed actual punchlines instead of accurate costumes and nice sets.
I only knew him from the Flight of the Conchords and you've apparently done the dirty on him as his accent was nowhere near this sexy there. He did a great job there apparently, protecting all of us. Not all heroes wear capes. Yet, now I'm hooked!!!
It was a different time, such raw sexuality wouldn't have been allowed on screen or radio. The only way they could hope to succeed was to nerf the accent.
Moved to Melbourne a while back, needed to buy some clips to hang washing on the line so went to a city hardware store, only to be told by the young person at the checkout that pigs weren’t sold there.
Hahaha...can't see the fascination with our accent either. Maybe that's why Maori language is being used more now...it sounds better to kiwi ears Kia Ora instead of Hullo!
This was almost moderately amusing at times. Disclaimer: I'm Australian, so the fact I'm saying anything even remotely nice in regards to a video about the Kiwi accent is, comparatively, a glowing recommendation on my part.
I went to college with a girl from Venezuela. Her accent was so sexy (she was incredibly attractive to look at, also) that I didn't even want her talking to me. It was the only time in my life where I was completely distracted from somebody being too sexy.
dude, i was watching that movie where Daniel Radcliffe has gun hands and when Rhys showed up I fucking lost it I love this guy and OFMD is great so far
It's official, the New Zealand accent is my favorite now. It's so unbelievably clear and easy to understand, and this is very rare and pleasant. I, a non-native english speaker and a fan of David Tennant, have been struggling to understand his scottish accent, so this is like a breath of fresh air for me :)
Rhys Darby's quirky humor is drastically underrepresented in modern media. He elevates every show he's in.
Umm...he's one of the most famous NZ'ers and is in so many hollywood movies 🙄😄

Rhys is having his hot boy summer with all the fans on Twitter, so I have a feeling this video is more relevant that it intended to be.

No one is allowed to have any feelings for Rhys and if you do protect the kiwi ears from it.
If he says 'Pineapple Fritters' one more time, I'm gonna bust in my pants.
How this man does not have crazy following I can't understand. Been a fan since Flight of the Conchords

Slightly obsessed since OFMD with the accent ngl.

Folks from NZ and CA have a similar sense of humour. Understated, dry and hilarious. Darby is a gem.
He has such scared wild animal energy
He;s one of those rare people, where it doesn't much matter what he says-it's funny. Christopher Walken is another.
"I'll have the fish, please" - that, alone, made me pause the video, laugh, wipe a tear, and then type this. Loved- *loved* - him on Flight of the Conchords. Amazing character. But, "sixy?" Not so much.

@@musiclikerperson agreed
Maybe if he’d pulled it off (the cardy), he’d have looked half human.
Super masculine look, until you call it a “cardy”
Maybe it's an NZ thing. The only guy mates that I know that wear cardigans live in Auckland
Lol, I love this because I was taught how to tell a AU vs. NZ accent is to ask, "Does it sound sexy?" And if it does, it's Australian. And if it doesn't, it's New Zealand.
Sorry what?
That's not what the poll says
australians sound moe annoying, we sound sexy. thats how to tell xo
Listen as an aussie I appreciate the compliment but why the fuck would anyone find an Australian accent sexy
💀
Because of Rhys I call eggs “eeegs” and it brings me great joy

But also this guy got me bricked up.
As a kiwi I have a voice made for phone sex but unfortunately with the advent of social media and video calls my game has gone right down the shitter😂
As an American I always liked the way Rhys said "minajah" in flight of the Conchords [aka manager 😂]
"Pandas are deaf. Which is something we didn't even think about." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤔
I don't know that got me, but it did.
Oh man I heard it as "the pandas are dead" and I was cracking up
I understand Rhys was asked, by NASA,to say "G'day" during first contact.
He quit.
Last I heard, he had abandoned it all to and set sail for the seven seas. Only way the poor soul could have a moment of peace and quiet.
with a crew like that, i've heard he hasn't gotten a moment that isn't a mutiny. You hear he's got the right hand man of Blackbeard on his ship?

That is one sexy squeaky toy accent
Lowkey how all of New Zealand reacted when Billie said that
Too funny. You were fantastic on Flight of the Conchords!
As a Rhys, I fully appreciate his plight. Being so sexy is the worst. Thank God I don't have his voice to match.

no matter what role he plays rhys to me will always be coran the gorgeous man
With the sexiest accent in the world, let alone LA, you'd be a great voice for Carl's Jr or a whiskey brand.
"Well, alright, have two for yourself". Lol Ryhs Darby is my hero. :) Well, Rhys and Yu Darvish. (curious if Rhys Darby has to look him up).
I rarely laugh out loud watching youtube videos, but the whole panda arousal thing has me in stitches here! 😆
Um why don't you advertise this more? This content is great
Definetely not the sexiest, but maybe the most adorable. My God, is it cute!! 🥺🥺
